It has ams in case of missiles.
ECM in case of spotting.
Stealth Armor in case of spotting.
Tag to help locks with LRM 5
Narc to help locks with LRM 5
Light PPC to disrupt enemy ECM and stealth armor and for infinite ammo
Flamer in head in case enemy tries to crit out weapons (it does deal damage and has infinite ammo, also useful if enemy closer than 90 meters as no minimum range for damage, also useful if enemy is too hard to hit with Light PPC because hitscan with continuous fire)
Active Probe to counter enemy ecm while keeping yours on hiding you or a second enemy ecm
Targeting Computer Mark 8 for max Light PPC velocity
Case in case of ammo explosion
Jump Jet in case of terrain
Standard engine allows loss of both side torsos with no loss in speed or heat efficiency
LRM 5 allows for indirect fire and crit potential with high explosive skill nodes
LRM 5 also useful in case enemy is hard to hit at distance with Light PPC
Double Heatsinks have better heat efficiency as well.
Even has armor on some components.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have MASC.

Artemis is possible, but I'd have to change to single heatsinks and drop the engine speed to unsafe levels for the armor amount it has.

If I could use clan double heatsinks, and it had a ballistic hardpoint in the left arm, and I had 5 more tons to work with, I could put in MASC, a machine gun, machine gun ammo, switch over to artemis, armor on head and back of torsos, maybe even a clan laser ams as well with another hardpoint.

If you like it, use it. But this is not a 'Mech I would deploy in.

Thats a joke build right? Right? It's hard to tell these days.

[Stuntyone]

I have to say the targeting computer mk viii is a stroke of genius.

It is the ideal 'Mech ... for a certain type of player.

[VonBruinwald]

If I was you I'd put all the ammo in the same ST as the CASE.

And it needs a Tacticon B-2000 Battle Computer...

[IDGAFF]

I like running ECM, Targeting Computers, and Active Probes when available on mechs. Even if the loadout doesn't call for them. That makes sense. Flamers though, not so much, at least with heat related weapons. Now machine guns, yeah, lets rocks! Believe it or not, active probes, and targeting computers are kinda useful with MG's too! haha...

[martian]

I would equip that 'Mech with Command Console.

I mean, how am I supposed to command if the 'Mech is missing such essential piece of equipment?

[The pessimistic optimist]

Ummmm the massive targeting computer why? If your going to put LRMs on it put LRMs on it other wise make a build that can make better use of that big *** computer

Could probably use a bit more armor, but that's just me.

[FupDup]

I can't believe I'm saying this but...I think you should stick to your ERPPC Viper (though maybe switch the Viper's 2 ERPPCs to 2 ERLL or something so you can mount more armor).

What Mechs do people run in Tier 4? Could it be possible that the OP's Assassin is actualy a viable 'Mech in Tier 4 games?

I would expect people to run similar builds as higher tiers, just with less skill/cohesion. At worst I think you'd probably see more champion/stock mechs, which still tend to make a mockery of this Assassin build (even the 3025 stock mechs).

Well ...

Anyway, the OP must fine-tune his 'Mech's armor before he can drop into the game.

Excellent troll build good sir! I salute you!

AH now I see this build is to annoy people to death

[Vorpal Puppy]

I want to see postings of best games in this build. Should be hilarious.

[Antares102]

Quality troll mech build

[LordNothing]

this reminds me of that one time i got drunk and dropped in a 6x narc mad dog.
